Every few months I buy a can of vanilla frosting and eat a spoonful or two. I put the can in the fridge, then maybe a week later do the same thing. I never actually finish the entire can sometimes put frosting on a cookie or eventually throw it away.

The odd thing is I dont like sweets that much (I usually crave meat or salty chips).

But every now and them I have to get my frosting fix.

Ive known of people who do this with peanut butter, but I dont know of anyone else who eats frosting with a spoon.

Cheese soup. I hit some serious cravings for cheese soup. I don't think cheese soup is all that strange, but judging from the looks I get, like I sprouted and extra head, when I mention cheese soup out loud, it must be strange.

I'm not a big sweet eater, but occasionally melted M&M's. They have to be warm and melty in the middle. This is very important. The M&M has to pop and you enjoy the chocolate innards, leaving behind the candy shell you save in your mouth and crunch on last.

Liliane, salt cravings can be a sign of stressed out adrenal glands. Switch to a non-processed sea salt that has the minerals, like Celtic sea salt. You'll have to go to a health food store or organic food store (or online), as it really can't be found at the regular grocer, but do take care of those adrenals. I like to munch on salt too.

When I am getting over a stomach bug, I crave a hamburger. Not just any hamburger, but a lukewarm mystery meat burger like the ones they served at camp in the '90s. Fortunately, I have no means of getting a mystery meat burger. But I still crave one. I wonder why.

I love to dip corn chips in instant garlic mashed potatoes. It's one of those things where each tastes fine by themselves, but put them together and woo-hoo! Darn it, now I'm craving them and I don't have the potatoes...

This might sounds weird, but try the Morningstar Farms plain fake burger patties, if those don't do it, try Boca Burger. A lot schools and camps used/use mystery meat extended with textured vegetable protein. If either of those taste "right", maybe your body just wants the soy.

I found out about this flavor similarity when a friend tried one of my fake meat burgers and exclaimed that they were just like the burgers she loved in Middle School.

When I was a child I used to eat bread with just mustard spread on it. Perhaps that was a deficiency, because I really craved it. Also when I was a kid I used to make "milk shakes" from milk and chocolate syrup and a banana that I mashed up thoroughly for a long, long time until it was turning brown. Yuck to both treats.

Now that I'm an adult I also eat leftover frosting from the fridge with a spoon. I'm not the only one here who does that - it never lasts long enough in this house to be used for any logical purpose.
